WICHITA FALLS, TEX, Dec. Late

trucks ran over him and another truck
was on top of him before the train could
be stopped, mangling his body in fear

substantially in the following statement
Thinking that the State Fair would be the
best possible advertisement Of the re-
sources of the state, the Texas
roads made cheap rates to it from
st. Louis. Kansas City, Cairo, Mem

the southeast; but, in order TO get re-
dnced rate over the southeastern roads,
| the Texas Traffic Association haG to enter
into an agreement with the Southern
| Traffic Association to put on holiday half
| rate tickets to points in the Territory in
which tickets to the Texas State Fair
were sold, and tie placing on sale of
cheap tickets to the southeastern states
is only carrying out the contract with the
| Southern Traffic Association. They hold
that this arrangement with the Southern
| Traffic Association amounts to double ad-
vertisement for Texas, in thatthe visitors
to the fair saw Texas to better advantage
than they could have seen it under any
other circumstances, and every Texan who
| takes advantage of the holiday rates to
visit his old home in one of the states COW
cred by the southern association will be q
living witness to the wonders of Texas,
and most of them will induce some of
their Kindred or old friends TO come back
with him.
In reference 10 excursion tickets into
the state, they say they have On ssale in

The rate to California was agreed upon

LIVE AND LET LIVE
Waco Examiner.


The Fort Worth GAZETTE seems to
think the railroad pool quite drawback
to Texas, and that the roads belonging to
it are not doing as much for the tate as
they ought. 1t, perhaps, has not occurred
to THE GAZETTE that these companies
built their lines and formed their pools
for the express purpose OF beneftiDg
themselves first, and afterwards incident
ally benefting the state. II the state and
people get sll they are entitled to from
the roads they will have to claim ana con-
tend for their rights. The railroads have
been q powerful factor in the develop
ment OF the state, and it is to be hoped
they will not now retard its progress in
their eagerness to fill up their own Golfers.
Live and let live would be good motto
for them to adopt.

HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE.
Waco Examiner,

There can be no question that the Pam
handle, Northern and Middle Texas offer
superior attractions to home seekers, but
for some reason or other tie tide Of i'm
migration is not sweeping thitherward in
anything like tidal wave. The drouth,
no doubt, was and is lettering cause,
but there were difficulties prior to the
drouth seasons, and the settler was con-
fronted with many hindranoes and obstruc-
tons to home-seeklng and profitable till
ing. The land laws were purposeIY or
blunderingly shaped for confusion, peculs-
ton and fraud, and their administration
has not been marked with simplicity or
traight-forwardness, and the temptA-
ton to take advantage OF imhecile Iegisla-
heroically resisted by sub-officials
main. The three great deterrents to the
settlement Of the country originated
under the Roberts administration. First
of these was the seven section so cents
an acre law, with the "uncles, cousins
king'' and syndicate system, and last
menace to the actual settler and
bu6 VI S1fIllL1IlOHs 4uS
latter, though put IN the form of statute
after Governor Roberts retirement, was
the logic of the seven section fraud and
it's corollary. Texas, however, cannot
afford to waste her time or fritter away
her strength, in pining over past blunders
or complaining OF purblind statesman
ship. She is still great in her resources,
great in her; uninhsbited domain and great
in her attractiveness to immigrants. 1t
is with the present she must deal, and
vital problems are pressing now for
prompt and practical solu-
ton. The Gazette pertinent
~ and wisely observes that
'iEvery interest in Texas demands an eff
fort to secure more population. Rail-
roads, real estate owners, merchants, ho-
tel keepers and other classes have made
investments based upon growth of popu-
lation. The present depression through
out the state is largely due to falling of
in immigration, If not to an actual loss Of
population during the past year. The
great need of Texas is more people.
What is the Texas railroad pool
doing to attract people to Texas?
What is the lease law doing to retard
settlement and deter immigration? With
in itself Texas possesses every element of
attraction to inVestorsiand home-seekers,
and it is held back by influences that
should be removed. It is significant
spectacle to watch California excursion
trains passing through hundreds OF mites
of Texas territory which offers more tkzn
California does to the home-seeker ana

Two Men Murdered-scrsp In a Gambling
Room.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, Tex, Dec. Late yesterday
evening news reached the city of the MUIR
der of two highly respected citizens few
miles in the country by the name OF CLARK
and Nose Harrison. Early in the morn
ing the two went into the bottom to cut
wood, carrying p double-barreled shotgun
and one axe. Nothing was thought to be
wrong until noon, when they were
anxiouslY looked for by the wife of Hsr-+
rison (the other was single man living
with his bro herr. Later in the evening
the wife, becoming alarmed about them,
sent her brother to hunt for them. He
was not gone long until he returned with
the fearful news Of the murder of the two
by unknown person or persons. The wife
and brother hitched the horses to the
wagon and went and hauled the corpses
in, the poor heart broken wife lifting
her husbands lifeless body upon the Wag
on. Thew were hauled to the house and
the neighbor and Sheriff notified, who at
once went to the scene, but no trace
could be found OF the cowardlY assassins
This morning Justice Ellis held an in
quest over the remains of the murdered
men, and clew to the perpetrators is
hourly expected.
Dave Augustus and Bill Huliinger had
an alteration yesterday in gambling
room, wherein the latter got most fear-
fully battered up. His head looks like it
had gone through sausage mill. Hullin-
ger made complaint before County At
torney Bingham in two cases, one for
aggravated assault, and another for play
ing cards in public place. This will
doubtless lead to information of a gamb-
ling hole that has been secretly carried
on for some time, and of which the Off
cisls have SO far failed to get clue.

CHEAP RATES DEMANDED
Cleburne Enterprise.

OleDuEne EnGeEpIlSe'
THE GAZETTE is urging the railroads to
give cheap excursions to Texas SO that
the state may have boom like the one
California is enjoying. There is no doubt
the railroad can make or mar booms of
this kind 1t is the cheap rate more than
anything else which is taking people tc
California. There is always moving pop
ulstion that goes with the current, and
the current always sets toward chea ,
rates of travel.

RAILROADS SHOULD HELP.
Dallas News.

In the railroad column of the News OF
to-day some interesting reading msy be
found. The question has been asked, in
view of the many low rate trips offered by
railroads to points outside OF Texas, why
are there no low rate trip tickets from all
those outside points into Texas? The
people are, and the railroads should be,
interested in bringing people here, not in
sending them away.

boom more than compensates for the diff
ference between the regular passenger
fare and that at which people are now be-
ing carried.
The northern lines could now very well
afford to abolish commissions, seeing
they have got the country pretty well
settled up, but that has nothing to do
with the case Of Texas. Texas wants
population and the way to get it, is to
pursue the methods that have worked so
successfully in other sections of the
country.
The California boom is q bonanzs for
the roads, and if 1t begins to lag 1 am re-
liably informed the rates will be still
further reduced. This boom is taking
good substantial citizens out of Texas
every day, and the railroads are Offering
them every inducement. Why, the Texas
roads actually offer the citizens of this
state free sleepers If they will pack up and
go. What do you think Of that? Sup
pose the same inducements were offered
to people to come into the state? The
people ought to take hold OF this thing.
